FantasyLand
Welcome to FantasyLand, a fun park within the city limits of Mumbai. Located at Jogeshwari on the Jogeshwari Vikhroli Link Road off the Western Express Highway, the park is enveloped in lush green landscape, spread on an area of 30 acres. The park opened to the public in September 1992 and has since grown from strength to strength adding new innovative entertainment and sporting attractions that have been one of their kinds in India.
An array of international rides and games. An Italian merry-go-round in porcelain finishes. A Dragon that clocks to and fro like a pendulum, swinging scores of people at one go. A Master blaster with a dozen arms that lift you high up in the air and then lower you suddenly. A Slam Bob in which boats surf the air at great speeds. A grand Slam where you crash your car into another and walk out smiling. And topping all these and other rides is the Roller Coaster (Ze Ulta Fulta Express) the only one of its kind in India. It takes a full 360-degree turn in the sky, leaving you suspended in mid-air.
Besides these rides there are also coin operated games, pedal boats in an artificial lake and horse rides.
When you've had your fill of the rides, there are Indian, Chinese and American fast food restaurants, where you can relax and fill-up on energy consumed.
Tickets are Rs.110/- per adult and 80/- for children. Senior citizens are allowed free, on proof of age.
The park opens everyday (except Mondays) from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. During April to June, the park is open upto 9:30 p.m. Special events are organised on the following days:-
